At OMPT, we provide applicants with straightforward and secure math proficiency assessments. We are thrilled to see how our efforts help international students show their math skills and get into their desired academic programs.
We want to celebrate what we have achieved together and thank everyone who has helped us succeed.
OMPT currently supports 29 institutions in 9 countries and is accepted for 205 study programs, 48% more than in 2023. We are excited to welcome new partners this year, including NHH Norwegian School of Economics, University College Dublin, and Kaunas University of Technology.
We have experienced significant growth among previous institutions such as the University of Amsterdam, KU Leuven, and Leiden University. In addition to being a market leader in the Netherlands, we are expanding our reach to other countries like Ireland, Norway, and Lithuania.
This year, 2.631 applicants from 120 countries took 3.249 tests. OMPT provides students with an affordable testing solution that addresses the differences in mathematics curricula worldwide.
We oversee the entire testing process, including grading and addressing student inquiries. This year, we resolved 2.572 student tickets. Our efforts help admission professionals focus on more impactful aspects of their work and better support prospective students during their application journeys.
Additionally, our tests have a positive environmental impact. They are accessible 24/7 from anywhere, which allows us to reduce the carbon emissions associated with traditional admissions solutions that require students to travel.
We are enhancing our support for students through artificial intelligence. We have developed a new chatbot powered by the latest version of ChatGPT. This assistant is designed to answer students’ questions and is integrated into our practice environment, providing access to our extensive content library.
The integration means that the chatbot works seamlessly alongside the questions posed by students, drawing from previous questions and answers and our feedback to generate comprehensive responses.
For many users of OMPT, English is not their first language. Therefore, accessing a chatbot like this when encountering difficulties is a significant advantage. This effort is also about leveling the playing field; we believe education and innovative technologies should be accessible to all. Moreover, it is offered at a fraction of the cost of private tutoring services.
Our chatbot is already in use with Sowiso, serving students at leading universities such as Radboud and UNISA. Data protection is a priority—students consent to use AI, and we ensure that information remains private, with no personal data shared with the tool.
We are continually enhancing our accessibility initiatives. We are excited to announce that Microsoft’s Immersive Reader is now available on OMPT! This powerful tool makes reading and understanding content easier for everyone, featuring options like text-to-speech, translation, and focus modes.
The Immersive Reader allows students to engage with content in the way that is most comfortable for them. This is especially beneficial for individuals with visual impairments or learning difficulties.
We hosted the inaugural edition of OMPT Connect, bringing together admissions professionals to explore the theme “Accelerating Innovation in Admissions.” The day featured insightful presentations, valuable networking opportunities, and delicious food! We look forward to seeing you at the next edition!
We are committed to implementing state-of-the-art security measures to maintain exam integrity and maximize safety. This year, OMPT has partnered with Meazure Learning ProctorU to provide an excellent proctoring service.
As previously, students will have 24/7 access to proctoring services, available 365 days a year. Additionally, we are introducing the Guardian Browser, which enhances security and ensures ease of access, even in regions like China where there may be restrictions.
This launch simplifies the process for students to complete security checks and verify their identities while connected to a live proctor. Furthermore, both OMPT and ProctorU comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We have updated our logo. Since 2022, OMPT has been part of Paragin Group, a leading provider of innovative educational technology solutions. We focus on helping people develop skills and knowledge using online software. Our goal is to support lifelong learning and professional growth in education, business, and government.
We made this change to present the visual identities of our products more consistently. By aligning our branding, we can present our range of products in a way that is more recognizable and easy to understand. You can find more details about this decision in this blog post.
Here, you can see the total impact Paragin Group has made this year, and our company updates.
We will continue integrating artificial intelligence into our products, aiming to empower learners and institutions through technology. Our mission is to achieve this on an international scale.
We are creating an all-in-one solution for managing and analyzing OMPT tests and applicant data. This tool is designed specifically for admissions officers and ensures a seamless experience for their teams. All student applications, OMPT test scores, grader transcripts, and student information can be viewed in one place, easily sortable and filterable.
We will keep you updated about our latest developments!
